2019 Woking Borough Council election
The 2019 Woking Borough Council election is set to take place on 2 May 2019 to elect one third of members to Woking Borough Council in England coinciding with other local elections held across much of England. Elections in each ward are held in three years out of four.[1]
Woking Borough Council decided to continue the use of voter ID restrictions requiring the production of photographic ID[2] or 2 other forms of ID, after a pilot scheme[3] the previous year.
Context[edit]
In the previous election[4], the borough had been only 10 votes away from moving from a Conservative majority to no overall control (NOC). However, despite the Conservative Party loosing 1 seat to the Liberal Democrats (Mount Hermon), they retained control of the council. In the year that followed, the council announced a series of development plans[5] for the town, which proved to be a controversial move, and one that was opposed by a large group of residents.
